In 15 years、 AliExpress has started the overseas warehouse project、 but this overseas warehouse is a cooperative third-party overseas warehouse. There are also introductions about overseas warehouse services on AliExpress's official website、 and you can also contact Taobo's supply chain.

For sellers、 the platform will give different support to overseas warehouse sellers

1) The flow must be inclined

2) Overseas warehouse sellers default to local return and exchange service、 which is also a better buyer experience

3) The setting of freight template allows you to set local delivery、 which is more reliable and preferred for buyers

Overseas warehouse itself also has many advantages: low scale effect、 low cost、 fast delivery of local return and replacement、 good buyer experience、 no congestion in peak season、 no impact of customs clearance、 buyer experience、 expand sales categories、 large goods can also be managed by warehouse and handled by a third party、 simple operation、 and platform traffic tilt

1. Self built warehouse by the seller

This category is the overseas warehouse built by the seller himself. The advantage of this kind of overseas warehouse is that the seller can control and manage itself and is flexible. The disadvantage is that the seller needs to solve the problems of warehousing、 customs declaration、 logistics and transportation、 and the construction cost and risk of self built warehouse are also large. In addition、 it is difficult to obtain advantageous prices in transportation if the delivery volume is not large.

2. Platform warehouse (e.g. Amazon FBA)

This is a service provided by Amazon itself for sellers. At the same time、 Amazon has many preferential policies for users: for example、 it helps sellers improve the ranking of products on Amazon's pages and become featured sellers. However、 the fees are expensive、 the customer service is not up to standard、 the flexibility is poor、 and it is also very annoying.

3. Third party overseas warehouse (such as Todropshipping fulfillment)

The actual cooperation between cross-border e-commerce and third-party overseas warehouses also falls into two categories.

International express delivery、 first choice (DHL、 UPS、 TNT、 FEDEX)、 of course、 EMS and postal parcels are also good、 you can consider from: freight、 security、 and delivery speed.

International EMS: about 3-7 days. The freight is relatively cheap. The EMS direct to the country is calculated by weight

UPS: about 2-4 days. Advantages: fast speed、 good service、 it takes about 48 hours to reach the United States、 and the goods can reach more than 200 countries and regions around the world

DHL: About 2-4 days. Advantages: fast、 generally 3 working days to Europe、 2 working days to Southeast Asia、 and comparison with national outlets.

FEDEX: About 2-4 days. Advantages: The price to Central and South America and Europe is competitive、 and the freight to other regions is expensive.

TNT: About 2-4 days. Advantages: It is fast、 takes about 3 working days to reach Western Europe、 has more countries to reach、 and can query website information quickly

China Post small bag: about 15 working days. Advantages: The freight is cheap、 the first weight and the added weight are 100 grams、 the customs clearance ability is strong、 and there are many articles that can be mailed.

The special line generally refers to the door-to-door transportation mode of Shuangqing、 similar to express delivery.

However、 air transportation is only the transportation from one airport to another、 which requires separate application for customs declaration and clearance.

In general、 small goods are more likely to choose special lines. Preferential price for large goods transported by air.
